How on earth . . . ???

How does he get this right (apart from lots of practice)?

A tip o' the hat to reader J. R. for sending me the link to the video.

1) The rather-poor-focus and the angle of the view conceals the facts that he's actually wasting a lot of the Jaegermeister, both in overpouring (both into the stacked-up small steins, AND into the lined-up double-shot glasses on the bar-top),

2) The stacking/nesting of those small steins produces a visual clue for him for when to move up the stack to produce nearly-equal filling of the successive bottom-spaces of the steins as he tracks up along the stack,

3) And, finally, tripping the "domino-effect" spillage of the filled double-shots produces sufficient splashing and temporary-foaming to partly-conceal the signal fact that the amount that ends up in each of the last row of glasses is less than you might think - and is in no way an equal amount in each glass, only an approximation...

Still - a flashy-looking stunt...lots of practice - and lots and LOTS of spillage...You notice that the video terminates BEFORE all of the splashing and foaming totally subsides?...
